Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Of course, it is me the one that consideres three of these cartoons racist. I am happy to defend my position to anybody.

And my clear point is that the judicial/press/media system is completely biased against muslims. A racist cartoon about danes in an European newspapers inciting violence will be quickly dismissed as racist and probably forbidden (if it is ever published which I doubt). Not if it is about muslims.

I indeed think that you can criticize Israel and Sharon with strong cartoon without being racist.. but you can also do it being racist. The cartoons I see here in the Middle East are a lot of them racists agains jews.. and I think these cartoon were racist. If they are not racist for you... well you have another definition of what is racism than what I have.

Having said that, what has a court to decide.. do we  not have the free speech  to declare anything.. even when it is racist?

I am saying that a lot of people get ventilations when the right to state racist comments is curtailed...when it is about muslims they do not get any ventilation when the racist comments are about jews and catholics.

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
